2012 USA Pro Citizens' Challenge

I don't know about you, but to us here at TrainingPeaks nothing is more motivating to go out and ride than watching the pros battle it out during an epic stage race. That's why we've put together a way for you to get off the sidelines and into the action during the 2012 USA Pro Cycling Challenge August 20-26.

Your Challenge, should you choose to accept it...

Download our free 7-day cycling training plan by Coach Steen Rose of TrainingBible Coaching. You have a choice of either our 7-hour "Stage Hunter" plan or if you want to go big, our 11-hour "GC" plan. With either plan, each day you will get a cycling workout in your TrainingPeaks account that will mirror the day's Stage in the USA Pro Cycling Challenge. Suffer with the pros during the Queen Stage with 2x20' intervals. Do 20' all-out during the fast and flat Stage 7 TT.

The Reward

Your reward for riding with the pros during the biggest stage race in the US: 

1. Bragging rights for completing 7 consecutive days of structured workouts on the bike
2. Jump-starting your cycling fitness and staying motivated during mid-season 
3. The chance to win some cool prizes from TrainingPeaks and TrainingBible Coaching 

Tell Your Friends

Tell the world you're accepting our challenge and put your friends up to it, and be entered to win (aforementioned) cool prizes. To enter, visit our Facebook page and tag yourself in our 2012 USA Pro Citizens Challenge photo. After the final stage 7 of USAPCC on August 26, we'll pick three entrants at random who are tagged in the photo to receive either: a year of Premium, a TrainingPeaks jersey, and a TrainingBible jersey.
